An alternative method of stating this law is that its namesake substances must have a compressibility factor of unity. Deviations from it tend to zero
An alternative method of stating this law is that its namesake substances must have a compressibility factor of unity. Deviations from it tend to zero at a temperature named for Boyle, at which the first order approximation to the virial equation is equivalent to this statement. It assumes that particles of the namesake substances have zero volume, participate in perfectly elastic collisions, and have no intermolecular attractions; those assumptions were first corrected for by the van der Waals equation of state.  For 10 points, identify this law which states that certain substances can be described by the equation of state PV=nRT.
